subject: Experience Mother Nature [print this page] Camping is one of the great pastimes, and the United States is abundant with parks and campsites to entertain and amaze you. Spotting wildlife and melting s'mores over a campfire are only two of the great things you can do. At sites around the country you can stargaze, ride bikes and so much more. The Great Outdoors offers endless possibilities.
To get started on your adventure all you need is to start a little research around the Internet and outdoor magazines. National parks around the country are always popular camping vacation areas. Parks like Yellowstone and the Great Smoky Mountains offer the chance to fully enjoy the outdoor experience. For experienced campers or adventurers who want a particularly special trip, there are plenty of unique camping options. You can hike year round through the Forty Mile Canyon in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah. The hike is challenging but doable as you wander among the trees and travel along Forty Mile Creek. The canyon's waterfall and pool ensure you won't burn out on your hike.
From the peak of the San Gorgonio Mountain in California you can see an amazing view. The mountaintop over 11,000 feet up lets you see a gorgeous sprawling view of Southern California. Away from the buildings of the city, you'll see the sky in a brand new way. Though they may be smaller, there are many mountain and hilltop peaks in the eastern US that present unrivaled views.
For unique camping adventures, don't be afraid to look for undiscovered and little-known areas. If you're looking to bare it all, consider the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Michigan. Lake Superior offers a great atmosphere in its clean, freshwater depths for swimming and nature watching. If stargazing is your thing, Mount Wrightson Wilderness, Arizona, is a one-of-a-kind spot. The bare summit lets you experience the Milky Way and beyond without any distractions. Though it's not most known for camping, Hawaii is also a great destination for camping and adventure.
If you enjoy being outdoors, you'll love the limitless options you have for natural adventure. There's no better way to appreciate nature than to go outside and experience. Everywhere you look there's plenty of nature's bounty to experience and enjoy.
